    I’ve used PIA for years with no issues. Edit: Lots of downvotes, yet nobody has provided a source for the distrust. When has a user been pinched for using PIA? Nothing I’ve read has been enough for me to ditch the service but if somebody is seeing something I’ve missed please enlighten me.

      Owned by an Israeli billionaire, with all the implications that come with that.

      Wouldn’t touch PIA even with a 10 foot long pole after all their past controversies.

        I’m not opposed to ditching them but could you provide me an article or source for these controversies?

      I bought a year of PIA before I found this out, after Mullvad dropped port forwarding. I guess I’ll switch to Proton?
